During dinner in the evening,
Xia Lu felt that the rice used in peacetime seemed to be different,
The color was like rouge,
A strange fragrance assailed his nostrils. Even the fragrance of the food could not cover up the fragrance of the rice.
"Eh,
But what's the matter? Why did you use rouge rice today? "The Jia Zhen could tell what kind of rice was in the rice bowl at a glance.
"Madam said,
These days, the Young Master is tired of studying. Grandma made so many pastries today,
It was very tiring,
So she asked the kitchen to make a bowl of rouge rice for the Young Master and Grandma, "Xiao Cui replied with a smile.
Xia Lu widened his eyes and looked at the rice in his bowl. So this was rouge rice,
Xia Lu was very curious. He thought of the description in the novel Dream of the Red Chamber,
Xia Lu thought that she would have to wait a long time before she could eat rouge rice.
"Oh, you can go down." The Jia Zhen let Xiao Cui and the other girls go down,
Then he picked up his chopsticks,
And began to eat. After taking a bite,
He felt that today,
This woman was a little different,
He looked at Xia Lu,
Then he looked at her in surprise.
Xia Lu sat at the dining table. Her eyes were sincere. She held the bowl with both hands and carefully ate a mouthful of rice. Her eyes were full of sincerity.
"What are you doing? Can't you just eat properly?" The Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu and couldn't help but frown. Was this woman possessed? What was she doing?
"What do you know? This is rouge rice." Xia Lu looked at her carefully eating. Thinking about the modern world, although there were also rouge rice sold, it was just ordinary red rice. The real rouge rice could only be eaten by the people above.
"Yes, rouge rice. Is it very rare?" The Jia Zhen frowned slightly. Although the production of rouge rice was not high, he could still eat it often. He really did not understand. Xia Lu was touched.
Xia Lu glared at the Jia Zhen. So what if she had eaten it? She tried to taste the rouge rice and asked. She had no desire to eat the dishes on the table. Her eyes were full of sincerity. She was afraid that if she ate the rouge rice with the dishes on the table, it would clash with the rouge rice. With a sincere heart, after eating the ten thousand dishes, Xia Lu sighed. The rouge rice was indeed rouge rice. She thought that the green stem rice was delicious, but the rouge rice was even better. Xia Lu felt so touched that she was about to cry.
Jia Zhen saw that Xia Lu didn't eat the dishes at all and directly ate the rouge rice in the bowl. She couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Lu looked at the Jia Zhen expressionlessly. You are a young master who does not know the hardships of the world. In the modern era, it was said that the real rouge rice was extinct. Do you know what she was eating now? If the people in the modern era knew that she ate the rouge rice and did not keep it for future generations, they would definitely curse her to death.
"Nothing." The Jia Zhen tried hard to suppress the smile on his face. He put the rouge rice in his bowl that he had not eaten more than two mouthfuls in front of Xia Lu. He returned Xia Lu's empty bowl and then filled a bowl with green stem rice for himself.
Xia Lu's eyes flashed with stars. This guy was quite nice sometimes.
"Don't just eat. Eat some dishes." The Jia Zhen took the initiative and put some dishes on Xia Lu's rice.
Xia Lu was just touched and did not react in time. The Jia Zhen succeeded. When he saw the dishes on the rice, he was furious. "How can you do this? How can you treat rouge rice like this? Do you know how rare it is?" Xia Lu was about to break down. This guy ruined her entire bowl of rice.
"No matter how delicious and rare it is, rice is still rice. If you only eat rice and not eat the dishes, don't you think your throat will be sore? You will panic. "The Jia Zhen rolled his eyes at Xia Lu. He picked up the dishes himself, put them in his bowl, and began to eat.
Xia Lu glared back at the Jia Zhen. Really? Panic? Since the rouge rice was already ruined, then forget it. Xia Lu still let go and began to eat all kinds of dishes. She had to admit that the chef from Ningguo Province was indeed worthy of his reputation. The dishes he made were quite delicious. However, there was one bad thing. Her taste was a bit closer to that of Hunan and Sichuan. She liked spicy food. However, the food in Ningguo Province was more similar to the food in the north. This made her feel a little conflicted.
After finishing the Jia Zhen's bowl of rice, Xia Lu felt that she was seventy to eighty percent full. She scooped a little more green stem rice. Sure enough, after eating the best rice, it was a bit of a burden to eat the slightly inferior ones.
Seeing that Xia Lu began to eat the third bowl of rice, although the Jia Zhen still sighed at Xia Lu's appetite, she was already used to it. She even joked, "Fortunately, I married you. With your appetite, if you married into another family, they really wouldn't be able to support you."
"Then I really have to thank you for marrying me." Xia Lu rolled her eyes. She didn't know that she had donated money to support herself. Moreover, in a small family, as long as she had money and power, her mother-in-law would dare to punish her, right? She didn't expect that now, she was restrained in everything she did. To say something unfilial, sometimes she especially hoped that her mother-in-law would pass away earlier than in the original novel. Then, she wouldn't have to be so restrained.
"You're welcome. It's good that you understand." The Jia Zhen was very proud.
"Haha." Xia Lu was expressionless. Ten thousand alpacas roared in her heart.
The next day, when she paid respects to Jia Zhen, she naturally mentioned the rouge rice and said that she was ashamed to accept it.
It's just that the rice is not easy to obtain. Every year, only so much is produced. Most of it goes to the palace, and the rest is divided among so many families. Fortunately, our Ningguo Province has some reputation in the capital and can get a few catties of it every year. Otherwise, even if you use it every day, it's nothing. "Jia Zhen really didn't care about the little money to buy the rouge rice.
Xia Lu sighed in her heart. Ningguo Province and Rongguo Province were indeed rich and imposing. However, it was a pity that they were so rich and imposing. In a few decades, they would have to sell their daughters for a few thousand taels of silver. This gap was not just a little big.
Xia Lu also understood in her heart that her mother-in-law's words were not only to tell her how rich and imposing Ningguo Province was, but also to show off in front of her. Every time Xia Lu came here, she missed the modern era very much. When she worked in the company, she liked to communicate with people born in the 90s because they were very straightforward. If they didn't like you, they didn't like you. If they liked you, they liked you very much. They were very straightforward and would not think about the modern era. To put it bluntly, you still had to think about what it meant and beat around the bush. This made her dislike it very much.
In a few days, I'll bring you and Lin'er's wife to the temple to burn incense. Zheng'er's leg is broken. We have to ask the Bodhisattva to bless him so that he can recover soon. Also, you have to ask the Bodhisattva of Guanyin to try to conceive Lin'er as soon as possible. "Jia Zhen had long wanted to go to the temple, but it didn't seem good to go as a new daughter-in-law. Therefore, she waited until today.
"Yes, I'll listen to Madam." Xia Lu had a headache. Could she get pregnant just by praying to the Bodhisattva? She could only conceive after she and the Jia Zhen were in close contact and the friction generated heat. Could it be that she could get pregnant just like in the prehistoric era? Hehe, she didn't know how green the Jia Zhen's green hat was.
"Good, good, good. Try to ask the Bodhisattva to bless you so that you can have a boy." Jia Zhen was very satisfied with Xia Lu's obedience.
